Chapter 269: Questions
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Many viewers of the live red carpet broadcast expressed shock via bullet points.
[Sister Ying! She’s so beautiful!]
[Holy crap, this is the standard of the red carpet!]
[Announcement: That dress is a brand-new springtime design, and her accessories are official merchandise.]
[Man, how did you find that out so soon?!]
[Borrowing the HPL Haute Couture is a Herculean task. Luo Ying is today’s undisputed red carpet winner.]
[Luo Ying has such good taste! The female celebrities before her were also dressed in haute couture, but the look was inappropriate for the occasion. The models wore their pieces better.]
[Correction: Sister Ying’s Haute Couture is not borrowed. She bought it herself.]
[Are you kidding me? She bought them?]
[Have you guys forgotten? Sister Ying’s family is quite rich. She would not have too much trouble purchasing them.]
[Oh, the world of the rich!]
[Yingying! Mine!]
Luo Ying had no idea that her red carpet walk had already been clipped and was going viral. She continued walking.
Since her odds of winning were low, she tried to blend into the background. After all, the press enjoyed taking pictures of actors who were left off the list and spreading rumors about them in an effort to create drama.
Despite her efforts to avoid attention, she was unable to prevent troublemakers from seeking it out.
“Sister Ying, are you up for a vlog?” An unknown young actor came up and asked her.
Luo Ying was not in the mood. “Are you authorized to film on the carpet?” She smiled politely, but her guard was up.
People like that were always eager to drop by, camera in hand. As long as they got a bad reaction shot, there would be another scandal.
“Sister Ying, you have a good chance of winning today. Who do you feel most indebted to for “Dancing Shoes and Summer’s” success? It appeared that the other party had not heard Luo Ying, as he persisted in his inquiry. The red dot on the camera showed that he was recording.
Luo Ying was at a loss for words. Did this person mistake her for someone who had just entered the field?
Such a leading question was already playing to the narrative that Dancing Shoes and Summer would win, but the award had not been announced yet. The moment she played along, she would be maliciously interpreted later.
The cast of “Dancing Shoes and Summer” would be ridiculed if they gave an acceptance speech before winning an award. If she were to win, her words could be interpreted as an acceptance speech delivered early. The winner was probably chosen long ago.
Even when she first started out, she wouldn’t have fallen for such a blatant
trap. It was too stupid
Luo Ying was filled with contempt, but she didn’t let it show on her face. Suddenly, she turned her head as if she had heard her name being called. She waved her hand and said casually, “Excuse me.” Without a backward glance, she got to her feet and walked over.
“Hey, Sister Ying!” That person wanted to chase after Luo Ying, but the venue was crowded, so Luo Ying shook him off easily.
As Luo Ying walked, she wanted to find an acquaintance to cover her, but someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Where are you going?” Jin Shi asked curiously. In the time it took him to get two glasses of champagne, Luo Ying had already gotten up and left.
Luo Ying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jin Shi. She took the glass of champagne from his hand. “It’s fine. Someone was pestering me to do some vlog. I just found an excuse to run away.”
Jin Shi frowned and said, “I’m going to find the organizer.”
The organizers checked and found out that the person was from a media studio in the industry. They were notorious for intentionally filming scenes meant to skew viewer perceptions of the actors and reveal their “true” selves. They had no idea how this person had gained entry to today’s event.
However, even though Luo Ying had tried her best to avoid slipping up in the video, the person still quickly edited a few seconds of the video and uploaded it to social media sites, causing a lot of discussion.
[Luo Ying avoided giving a direct response. Maybe she didn’t think she’d win, or maybe she was just unhappy with the crew.] He had deliberately cut out Luo Ying’s rejection.
In the comments, many people were misled.
[The relationship between Jin Shi and Luo Ying is strained, right? Even saying
“thank you” seems forced.]
[Considering Luo Ying’s poor acting ability, how arduous do you think it was for the director of “Dancing Shoes and Summer” to bring out the best in the cast and actress? Why isn’t Luo Ying thanking him?]
[I literally have no words. Don’t you even have the basic courtesy to answer a question?]
[Luo Ying is not expecting much. This year, “Rising Sun” is among the nominees. That’s the clear frontrunner for the prize.]
[Don’t say anymore. Rising Sun has single-handedly crushed Dancing Shoes and Summer!]
[There is no hope for Dancing Shoes and Summer.]
[Oh, it’s Luo Ying. That’s normal..]
